Re: [IxDA Discuss] 3D Navigation
I always got a chuckle out of this scene in Jurassic Park: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4tbis_jurassic-park-unix-system-scene_tech This is UNIX. I know this! Nothing like navigating a super slow 3d UI instead of executing a few commands via a terminal when there are raptors after you. Maybe that clip will help convince your client ;) Regardless, here is a page full of 3d UIs: http://nooface.net/3dui.shtml . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] 3D Navigation
I believe 3D UI paradigms have developed a poor reputation (and for the most part justly so), but there is a lot of potential in its use. The key benefit of 3D when it comes to a search is that is can provide a quick overview of a lot of data, and allow the user to change perspective (and somewhat the modalitiy) from overview and browsing to a detailed view within a seamless space. In Johnny Lee's head tracking demo, you can see the potential for creating natural spatial paradigms for browsing objects/collections. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw In the appendix of this document there is an okay collection of 3D 2.5D UIs: http://www.tat.se/site/media/downloads/3D Interfaces for Mobile Phones_public_20080529.pdf Some included are: BumpTop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ODskdEPnQ PicLens Cool Iris http://www.cooliris.com/ RSS Voyage http://www.rssvoyage.com The document also includes a framework for analyzing 3D UIs, breaking the benefits into Visual Style Feedback, Naturalized Interaction, and Flexible Information Visualization . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] 3D Navigation
Here's one: http://labs.blitzagency.com/?p=68 I am likewise leery of this kind of navigation unless it's extremely well done. The web is 3D enough in its very nature -- there's no need to pull that out visually (at least, not any more than usual) unless it's compellingly relevant to the content and audience. bests, Alex O'Neal UX manager -- The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] 3D Navigation
I assume that you have seen Muriel Cooper's work at MIT... there is a section about it in Wurman's 'Information Architecture' book.

Have any of you come across or designed such an interface lately?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] 3D Navigation
The only usage of it I have seen recently is within student projects where they have tended to use the available open-source code and produce something rather rarefied in its real-world application. I agree, it's not a very user-friendly way of navigating data, or even photographs. It creates an illusion of empathy with the user, but in fact relies heavily on input. Meta-data once entered into any data-repository can be manipulated in any way. That said, I am an absolute fan of visual thesaurus and the Flock browser.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] 3D Navigation
You might find some good and bad examples of users moving within simulated 3D objects in the realm of sophisticated gaming software; specifically 'search for objects', 'solve puzzles' type games. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
